[Commlist] cfp: Cases on Nordic Public Relations and Marketing Communications

Thu Aug 29 13:41:49 GMT 2019






CALL FOR CHAPTERS: Cases on Nordic Public Relations and Marketing Communications

Editor: Darren P Ingram, University of Oulu, Oulu, Finland

The Nordic geographic region encompasses Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, as well as Greenland and the Faroe Islands (part of the Kingdom of Denmark) and the Åland Islands and Svalbard. There can be elements of a shared culture and language, but it is by no means a homogeneous region either.

Home to innovative companies both large and small, this region can surprise the unwary who discovers just what products and services can have a Nordic origin, being exported from a relatively small country in northern Europe. How do these companies work to establish and enter new markets?

Objective
This proposed book will highlight export-focussed marketing communications and public relations activities undertaken by Nordic-based companies (including subsidiaries of multinationals) that are used to drive export sales and generate product/service awareness. A mixture of case studies and theoretical/research-based chapters should provide academic and practitioner-focussed knowledge that is accessible and actionable for all.

Whether in the Nordic region or not, localisation/regionalisation, cultural awareness, language, style and other elements are necessary attributes for most, if not all companies, that must be considered with marketing communications and public relations campaigns. The book would not seek to focus on clearly global brands, e.g. Coca-Cola, unless there is a particular activity that is unique to the case study, e.g. the Coca-Cola Happiness Machine concept https://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/coca-colas-happiness-machines.

Target Audience
The target audience of this book will consist of students, scholars, and professionals who are active in the fields of marketing communications, public relations, export and other business-related activities.

This book wants to use the classic “5 W’s and a H” approach that is the cornerstone of journalism to tell the story – Who, What, When, Where, Why and How!

Recommended Topics
All topics should feature marketing communications or public relations activities conducted by Nordic-based companies (including subsidiaries of multinational companies) to establish and/or support export activities into another market, whether targeting a neighbouring country or one on the other side of the world.

Case studies detailing campaigns are particularly welcome. Please note that chapters should be written in an academic style with references, as necessary, to show theoretical and prior literature grounding, but contain accessible and actionable details to showcase the undertaken activities.

Submission Procedure
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before September 29, 2019, a chapter proposal of 1,000 to 2,000 words clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors will be notified by October 13, 2019 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by January 27, 2020, and all interested authors must consult the guidelines for manuscript submissions at http://www.igi-global.com/publish/contributor-resources/before-you-write/ prior to submission.
